What are the special features of the International Business curriculum, the original Grande École program?
It provides you with solid skills in international business management and administration, to prepare you for international careers.
This program focuses on ESCE’s core strength: preparing students for the technical, intercultural and managerial aspects of international business management. At the heart of our pedagogy is the teaching of foreign languages and cultural courses.
This International Business course is also offered 100% in English, so that students who wish to do so, and who have the necessary level, can be immersed in an English-speaking environment from day one, and acquire the terms specific to international business and commerce. At the start of the school year, students are offered a language level assessment by our teaching staff.
